I believe that this is going to be the best Christmas so far with Jackson. He is really into Santa Claus, used to he would hide behind me and try to get by without being seen, however this year every chance he gets he wants to talk to him just to make sure that Santa knows that he has been good. We have done tons of things so far to get ready for Christmas we have had breakfast with Santa, Gift exchanges, story times, baking, Riding Christmas on the Pecos to name a few.
Last night was probably the best so far! In the little community we live in Santa drives around town on top of a firetruck bringing a bag full of fruit and candy to the children. The whole time he has the siren ringing and is ho,ho,ho ing all the way around. The first time Jackson saw the lights he was ecstatic! "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, he's coming to MY house mommy!" Jackson said. It did take about 30 minutes for him to get to our house so every time the siren went off again Jackson had to run outside just to make sure that he hadn't been passed up. He didn't seem to mind the 25 degree weather he just wanted to see Santa. When he finally got to our house Jackson was so excited, it was just too cute. Jumping up and down he received his bag and headed toward the house, all of the sudden he remembered something and ran back to the street and shouted "Don't forget Santa, I want a Leapster!!!". Then he headed into the house with a look of accomplishment on his face. "Mommy now Santa knows where I live", I didn't have the heart to tell him we are going to be at Pappy's house for Christmas but perhaps we will tackle that conversation tomorrow. Merry Christmas Everyone!
I love all the children's activities at the church. I first started going there becuz they had children's church. The church i had been previously attending had nothing for the children during church. My oldest is in the youth group, my middle is in children's church, and my youngest is in the nursery. The nursery workers work really well w/ people, especially if they have to nurse. We are part of the Mosaic Sunday School class. My husband is actually the teacher. We are a group mostly made up of married (but not all marrieds) w/ kids ranging from 6 months to like 15 years. (Wait, we had one birth a week ago.) We try to have regular fellowship get-togethers outside of church. I'm not a SAHM, but most of the others are...in fact they have a Tuesday morning Bible study. I attend during the summers (I'm a teacher).
ReplyDeleteJudging from the pictures your oldest looks to be in Cubbies. Mine just started in Cubbies this year, she's the fiery redhead that's very hard to miss.
Here's my email since that's probably easier instead of commenting on eachother's blogs.
